Considering switching our Hurst shifter to the MGW, Will it be an obvious change?

I have the first iteration of the HURST shifter which I had the dealer install back in 2009 prior to delivery. Its def cool looking and i like the fact it feels shorter but its still harder to shift no matter what fluid i run in the trans etc.

I am now upping the power on the car alot and will need to row through gears much quicker and am considering doing the shifter when we pull the tranny out for the ZR1 clutch.

Just want to get some feedback for anyone who has switched from HURST to MGW, I am not considering any other shifter but the MGW.
